In this paper, we propose a new application of Bayesian language model based on Pitman-Yor process for information retrieval. This model is a generalization of the Dirichlet distr...
Abstract Models of document indexing and document retrieval have been extensively studied. The integration of these two classes of models has been the goal of several researchers b...
Most previous work on the recently developed languagemodeling approach to information retrieval focuses on document-specific characteristics, and therefore does not take into acc...
The language modeling approach to retrieval has been shown to perform well empirically. One advantage of this new approach is its statistical foundations. However, feedback, as on...
This paper proposes a word sense language model based method for information retrieval. This method, differing from most of traditional ones, combines word senses defined in a thes...
